What 2D Can Do For You?
In the retail jewelry world, most of your time is spent trying to get the customer to say “Yes!” to your proposed design. The length of time required to get that “Yes!” can be greatly reduced using 2D software.
2D clears up about 95% of the communication problem by allowing customers with limited jewelry knowledge and experience to actually visualize the exact design you are trying to sell them.
In looking at the newer 3D products, be wary of people trying to criticize 2D to help sell their 3D product. This is a big misunderstanding of your needs and the strengths & weaknesses of the software.
If a big part of your day is working directly with customers, it’s hard to beat the ease and quickness of 2D software.
Why should we study computer aided designing, instead of manual designing?
Manual Designing, was the only form of jewellery designing until the introduction of Computer Aided designing (CAD).
With the introduction of Computer Aided Designing (CAD), jewellery which was drawn – designed on the paper (canvas), identical drawing could be made on the computer with much higher complexity and accuracy compared to manual designing.
a)
Time:
Given a “X” period of time, a designer can make 5-10 designs on the computer compared to a design made manually.
If a designer makes 1 design using permutation and combination that one design on the computer can lead for 5-10 drawings which would not be possible if the jewellery is drawn manually.
b)
Colour & drawing:
On the computer you are exposed to 13 million colours, you do not need to be good at drawing or an artist do draw on the computer as the tools available for drawing make it much simplier.
